SSRIs like sertraline or fluoxetine treat both. If you have any further questions or need more clarity, please consult with a psychiatrist. If you`re in Texas, we welcome you to reach out to www.MidCitiesPsychiatry.com, we`re here to help you.
The SSRIs are used for both. Mirtazapine is also effective. Carol A Tavani, MD, MS, DLFAPA Executive Director, Christiana Psychiatric Services Office: 302 454 9900 Mobile: 302 540 2656
Virtually all available antidepressants treat both anxiety and depression - selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI), serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRI), as well as older classes of medications.
